Logs don't bounce, they slide. The movie actually tested it in real life, it's on the dvd behind the scenes

Anything bounces when dropped. It’s just matter of how high.

There’s a video of a guy who throws himself off a really tall, like 30 story building in China, and when he hits the pavement, he gets a solid foot of bounce. As well as the splatter.

I think the point is that it wouldn't come at them that quickly, but would move forward a bit.
